    Goodbye Mt Smart, hello North Shore

    Reading through the comments, I didn't realise there were so many ACT and National Supporters following RL......Mike Hoskings of course. I'm sure that bloke sleeps with John K. Len Brown though, LOL. They say people get the politicians they deserve. I didn't think Aucklanders were THAT bad...

    We let him get away !

    NZ Rugby apparently signs no one, till they are in a top team. They have development programs for sure, but in the words of Steve Tew, "we don't sign children". They may lose a few, but they wouldn't be paying for many duds either. The Tongan Thor is a classic example of a big kid at...

    We let him get away !

    I'm currently taking a boy through the mid teenager years and he has been in the high development programs of two or three sports. The message that consistently comes through from all the elite coaches/managers is that; "The best players when they are 14, are very rarely the best players when...

    We let him get away !

    Just trying to work out how a kid, playing RUGBY in BRISBANE, and gets signed in Queensland, is lost because Dean Bell in Auckland, didn't do his job? Are the warriors supposed to tie up every potential league convert with a kiwi background in the world? The tape shows a kids playing Rugby...

    TV is strangling the game to death

    I am used to NZ's Sky broadcast which is either Fox or 9's but without the ads. I was home in Oz a month or so ago and tried to watch a free to air match with all the ads. Man, I'd rather no TV deal than that. It was unwatchable and totally boring, sitting through countless ads. They have...

    3-2-1 vs Roosters

    Don't have to be a supercoach to see the issue. Jeepers, look at the missed tackles column......compare to Easts

    How the Warriors can make it to the Grand Final

    After 42 odd minutes on Sunday, I turned off the tele and got myself into summer mode. Have not missed a warriors match this year. I'll start doing some gardening and getting ready to go to the beach on my sunday arvos. Take the missus for a walk.....be a while I know in Wellington but hey...

    Centres

    Ben Henry proved today he should never, ever, no matter how desperate we are, ever play in the centres again. Ben was going good in the forwards. But his performance today was just terrible. He was the worst on the field. Probably followed by Tomkins who chose today to play rubbish...

    Team v Knights

    TL is a good tackler and is good one on one with bigger runners too. But some guys are gunna have to do a bit more tackling with Friend off the park. One bad game from Friend and your off! Hard....

    Gold Coast rugby league

    The AwFuL is bloody good at making a strategic move, being prepared to give it money, invest in time and make it happen. NRL, has to be making money right away, has to have crowds now, or you are gone, if your crowds drop off, everyone starts writing you off. The NRL should have an investment...

    3-2-1 vs Sharkies

    TL had a relatively poor game in attack, but his defence was excellent. He is easily the best tackling half in the comp at the moment....just we need him to organise the attack. Was it 2-3 times that Ben Matulino broke the line and did not have a centre or winger backing him up for an easy...

    David Smith...is footy better off?

    This is rubbish. Now you have to be super fit and skillful to play RL, not just a thug. I loved the game in the 80's. But skillless thugs prospered. The game has changed, but it isn't soft. Soccer is soft.

    We will never win an NRL title until

    And might I add, he comes across as an absolutely fantastic guy and an absolute ambassador for our sport. I reckon he lifts our guys on the field by his presence and attitude. Playing alongside the guy would be uplifting.

    We will never win an NRL title until

    Absolutely agree. Manu has to play outside of Nielson who has zero attacking skills, no pace and no vision. Manu has a mistake in him, but he also has the abilility to do stuff nobody else can.

    Nielson almost released to Hull?

    One can only hope. I am not a Nielson fan.

    No Johnson and Leuluai as halves, no NRL title.

    Whether Albert is right or wrong, Townsend has been mud in the last 2 weeks and I can't say his kicking form cost the games, but they certainly contributed more than any other single player. A kick that goes dead is a bad, bad play under the new rules and he must have done it 4 times? I...

    vs Broncos

    Well I saw him standing there in those last 8 minutes. He wasn't behind play, he wasn't down, he was there. For some reason, unknown to me, they didn't work it that way? When you've got a main try scorer in Manu completely nullified by the centre that won't pass, doesn't seem a good idea to go...

    vs Broncos

    Couple points/clarifications. Saw Gubb was named in the team early in week, but they played Passi. Anyone know why? I know Cappy and co, blood these blokes to give them experience and depth. But Gubb's minutes have been good and his physicality would have been good in that game. As it was...

    London v. Toulouse

    The relegation of London and its failure to develop as a force in Superleague, demonstrates the poor vision and strategic planning of the English Super League administration as a whole. Having a team in Leigh, or Barrow or Dewsbury of Cumbria is great for the residents of Cumbria, Barrow...

    3-2-1 vs Panthers

    Yes. And I was screamin' at the tele...(even though it was on a half hour delay and it was a tele, so he was never going to hear me) about him never, ever passing the freakin ball to Manu! Same rubbish, same player
